Strawflower


Guess where I got this beautiful Strawflower - exactly, Safeway of course, LOL. The size of the actual flower is around 1" diameter.
"The genus Helichrysum (pronounced hel-i-CRY-sum, or hee-li-CRY-sum) consists of an estimated 600 species, in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The type species is Helichrysum orientale.
The name is derived from the Greek words helisso (to turn around) and chrysos (gold). Common names include strawflower and everlasting. It occurs in Africa (with 244 species in South Africa), Madagascar, Australasia and Eurasia. Several species are grown as ornamental plants, and for dried flowers. When cut young and dried, the open flowers and stalks preserve their colour and shape for long periods." From Wikipedia.
